Adam and I got the results of or Early Prenatal Risk Assessment today. The ERA is based on a blood test and an ultrasound, and (together with the age of the mother) is used to predict the chance of having a baby with Down syndrome, Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18. The ultrasound also checks for other birth defects.
Our results put us in the low risk category, with no further testing indicated! Apparently, my odds of having a baby with one of the three chromosomal disorders are lower than a 20-year-old woman's odds. Now I will have to find something new to worry about!

VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THE RESULTS AND GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE FEELING BETTER. I WAS SICK ONLY WITH JOSH, NOT WITH THE OTHER THREE.
Congratulations, and great news!
Shabbat Shalom!
